new guy from arkansas

[noremac]

whats up? my name is Cameron, and i live in jonesboro arkansas...

i came here from gmt400.com, where i am still an active member.. long story short, i rolled my 98 z71 ecsb july 31st... it was my baby, and almost killed the old dude that ran me off the road..

before the wreck....


after the wreck....






i went a month without my baby, and was going stir crazy... then i got the phone call from my wife's uncle.. he said he had a 1983 chevy that he would sell me for 500 bucks over 5 months. i thought thats perfect for a college student on limited income... so we drove the 2 hours south to pick it up..

when i got it home... yeah... it had redneck written all over it with the chrome bed linered over, two mud tires on the back, and camo all in the interior...


i didnt waste any time changing this thing into a respectible vehicle...

quick wash and bug shield removal...


sanded for primer, body work mostly complete, stupid camo vinyl removed, and taped off...



ran out of primer in first batch...


halfway through second dusting of primer...


finished, but still wet...


engine.... not the stock engine.. this truck started life as a simple v6 with a th350 in it.... now it has a mild 350 and th400...





i will get more pictures as soon as i can.. but that is about it for now....
